Question 35

Q.		I am very interested about all the anti-idle laws out there and I was wondering if any of them specifically state what engine must be turned off. I have been researching APU’s and wondering if a truck driver uses an APU is it considered idling?

Visit this site for all state laws.

Not one of them stipulate what engine must be turned off, in terms of Manufacturer. However some states limit all trucks from idling regardless of the engine within. Currently running an APU is not against the law.
